Awww! Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: BarneePhife on May 30, 2008, 09:04:36 PM Put some rearsets on it and ride along! Sounds like fun! The creator says turn signals will be added. Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: NAKID on May 30, 2008, 09:07:34 PM 2 questions:
1. Who is the guy who looks like Dax Shepard in the 7th pic? 2. Isn't the ride gonna be kinda rough with no suspension? Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: hiero on May 30, 2008, 09:08:20 PM tomorrow we get to see it on the road in the hill country !!! [evil]
not my bike, but it actually has a full on suspension! Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: NAKID on May 30, 2008, 09:09:41 PM Wow, you really can't seen any suspension. It does look cool though...
Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: onederer on May 30, 2008, 09:13:18 PM words...i am without them.
Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: BarneePhife on May 30, 2008, 09:13:39 PM Wow, you really can't seen any suspension. It does look cool though... Yeah, the suspension is covered by the fairings. I'll get a pic of it tomorrow. We're all eagerly awaiting to witness this thing on the road tomorrow. He arrived on-site after dark. His maiden trip was about 450 miles on the interstate and back roads with Duke in the Puggle Pod 9000. Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: BarneePhife on May 30, 2008, 09:16:36 PM 2 questions: 1. Who is the guy who looks like Dax Shepard in the 7th pic? Why, it IS Dax Shepard! Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: NAKID on May 30, 2008, 09:25:18 PM Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: IZ on May 30, 2008, 09:26:12 PM I'm disappointed that he didn't use a Monster trellis frame to make that!!
Cool though. My pug used to ride with me. I had a good system to secure him. d-clips on the chest and the back fastened to the harness so he couldn't move but minimally. I'd give him the relectors from your Monster too to put on that contraption so cars see it!! Who the F is Dax Shepard? One of your reality TV soap stars Nakid?? Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: BarneePhife on May 30, 2008, 09:34:41 PM Serious? LOL... nope. We're not quite cool enough to be hanging out with celebrities. Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives!

[cheeky] [cheeky] Stop being an ass Adam! [laugh] He's one of the guys from Punk'd. He was also in a couple movies, Employee of the Month and Without a Paddle (I think that's the name.)

Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: somegirl on June 02, 2008, 11:47:00 PM Here is a random moto dog sighting someone shot and sent to me (cause I have the same breed of dog).
Lack of gear notwithstanding, I think this dog is having fun. 8) (I would not trust mine like this though...I have Evel Knievel dogs. [bang]) (http://paularickert.net/albums/userpics/dogonbike2.jpg) Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: Mac_48 on June 02, 2008, 11:50:54 PM that is soo cool [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: CountGreffi on June 03, 2008, 04:39:10 AM The one question that begs to be asked (surprised no one did) is that thing even legal? Where do you live that that would pass inspection. Looks like a reason to get pulled over. Cop may be swayed by the cute dog though. I don't know how safe this whole thing looks. I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but doesn't look like the most secure thing ever. Looks like Fido on a sharp turn won't make it and the bar will break sending Fido flying. Could just be another arrogant attempt for man to defy the laws of physics, but that thing is f'ing cool. It's like a chick magnet tpo. They think "Aww you care SO much about your dog, I bet he'll jump through hoops for me....I mean look at the dedication to the dog" Swee thing, just looks like danger awaits. BE CAREFUL PLEASE.
Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: hiero on June 03, 2008, 05:18:03 AM hmm, actually, richD has a restraint system built into the pod for the dog that works pretty darn well. Full suspension and the whole thing connects to the bike around the bottom of the case on both sides, VERY solid.
From what I could tell riding behind the two this weekend, the dog was having a great time, he'd get up and poke his head into the windstream and just enjoy the ride richd was definitely getting a lot of women stopping and asking questions [evil] Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: junior varsity on June 03, 2008, 05:45:55 AM So VERY cool.

Post by: ♣ McKraut ♣ on June 03, 2008, 07:14:19 AM Duke flys in that thing, too. i know firsthand; i got passed by him :-\
it was seriously cool being behind them and watching them take the corner. i think i even saw Duke trying to put a couple knees down in the technical stuff [thumbsup] someone needs some knee pucks for his birthday i think... Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: Duc L'Smart on June 03, 2008, 09:40:19 AM I don't know how safe this whole thing looks.

Hey DD- the PP9000 is fully articulated... It leans at exactly the same angle as the bike, & has a fully adjustable suspension. Why would a sidecar (especially one with head, tail & brake lights) not be legal? Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: CountGreffi on June 03, 2008, 11:05:05 AM Hey DD- the PP9000 is fully articulated... It leans at exactly the same angle as the bike, & has a fully adjustable suspension. Why would a sidecar (especially one with head, tail & brake lights) not be legal? Okay, so this thing can lean with the bike...that makes it sound far less unsafe. Still I stand by my observation, that the PP9000 doesn't LOOK that safe. I just hope the dog is gonna be okay. I do believe that thing is a chick MAGNET. Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: IZ on June 03, 2008, 09:28:19 PM It has fully functioning lights, including night light (front and back) and brake lights... Nice!! [thumbsup] Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives!

Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: clubhousemotorsports on June 04, 2008, 07:06:23 AM Ok time to start branching out.
It looks like I could get both kids on that one. In NH we have a seatbelt law but not for motorcycles [evil] and yes I am kidding....I think maybe maybe not Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: Drjones on June 04, 2008, 08:42:28 AM The technical term is parallelogram. As long as the mount points are stong enough for the loads and the box trellis arm is strong enough for the torsion/bending loads the setup isn't going anywhere the bike isn't going. It will actually see far lower loads in turns than a traditional side car would.
Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: Duc L'Smart on June 04, 2008, 01:15:50 PM RichD & Duke made it back to Ft. Worth fine, & I can tell you he was tearing it up in the Texas Hill Country [thumbsup] [moto]
Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: RichD on June 04, 2008, 02:26:51 PM RichD & Duke made it back to Ft. Worth fine, & I can tell you he was tearing it up in the Texas Hill Country [thumbsup] [moto] After riding the Supersport with the Puggle Pod on it for well over 1000 miles now (about 1500 miles in the first week!) I have to say: it works well. The bike is actually much more stable in sandy/marginal traction turns and surfaces than without the 'Pod. The extra wheel really helps out with this. I've had the occasion to do a couple of hard stops and one REAL panic stop. The bike's front does not want to "wash out" in a skid like a bike on just two wheels would. For normal accelerating and braking you need to steer slightly to adjust for the 'Pod being on there. Side wind has more surface to work on -so you feel it a little more. The turning feels a little heavier -but there is the gyroscopic force of another wheel to overcome... so it is no suprise. Once I gave myself a little time to acclimate to the new riding sensation it was full speed ahead! "Triple digit tested" [thumbsup] Soon will come paint and decals... [evil] ;D -R P.S. Duke LOVES this thing now. It took a little while for him to get comfy with it -but now he "plays" with the air... He inflates his mouth by opening it just over the windscreen and letting his cheeks puff and lips flap. He BEGS for attention at stoplights... He gets VERY excited when he sees his harness come out! (even more than his old leash!) Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: mitt on June 04, 2008, 03:22:04 PM awesome recap!

Post by: bryant8 on June 05, 2008, 11:17:16 AM The videos are still being worked on, we just got back from the trip a few days ago and the guy with the bike cam has about 4hrs worth of video to parse through.

Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: c_rex on June 05, 2008, 11:36:33 AM Brilliant! Looks a bit wide but I know nothing of these matters. I mean- if you needed to reach over to assist your co-pilot (bee, rock, anything - in co-pilots face) forget about it. There's not much eye protection even though the windscreen looks cool. Maybe he should also design a doggy helm. Have him integrate a helmet camera for the full shebang.

Looking forward to more updates. definitely. in the first pics he was crouching, looking like "ehh... is this safe?." Now he looks excited and really happy to be in that pod. I was just thinking, he's got some cool goggles to protect his eyes but does he wear ear plugs? I'd assume that with all the wind noise coupled with the exhaust at his ear level, he'd get hearing damage pretty quickly. Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives!

Post by: RichD on August 24, 2008, 09:00:06 PM Do you steer or counter steer? (nice set-up, I had a dachshund in a backpack once, that got plenty of smiles from the female gender, you must be rolling in attention) Attention? It's crazy. I just ride like a normal bike (countersteer). There is more weight there but it is surprisingly balanced. Hard acceleration requires a little steering input to go completely straight (pull on right grip slightly) Hard straight-line braking goes the other way (push slightly on right grip). If you ride normal after a few blocks it's hard to know it's there (but you'd better not forget -plan on being wider when you pick your lines) Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives!

Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: bryant8 on October 27, 2008, 08:18:40 PM We just returned from our semi-annual trip to the Texas Hill Country and we were able to catch a few videos this time out.
Including the Pugglepod http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOJ0jcii4Fs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOJ0jcii4Fs) This is a pretty rough cut and paste video but at least you can see it in action. And yes, the 900SS is in 3-up mode. New pics of it painted are being uploaded as people return home (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3271/2979396021_bc41523f08.jpg?v=0) Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives!

Now you need to get a friend in front of you with a rear-mounted camera. ;) Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: IZ on October 27, 2008, 09:24:39 PM Nice!! [clap]

Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: bryant8 on October 28, 2008, 08:18:06 AM I'm not the mad scientist that created the PugglePod 9000, I'm just lucky enough to call him a good friend. [thumbsup]
SUPER DUKE! of the DFWM is the creative mind and owner behind the PP9000. We had Duc 'L Smart do the chase camera work for the group. Next time out I hope to have a few more cameras set up for the trip [moto] Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives!

Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: A.duc.H.duc. on October 28, 2008, 03:39:30 PM I love it, I'd really like to see a sidecar built or people like that.
By "like that" I mean with the parallelagram arm instead of a mostly rigid mount. That looks like it'd be a really fun sidecar to ride on. Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives!

Cats like nothing. They are horribly little furry creatures. Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: calscrazy on October 30, 2008, 02:48:52 PM SUPER DUKE is a creative genius as bryant8 said and makes the best ribs hands down. excellent man to call a friend and the dog too. just as el matador said though he is hard to ride behind because of the way duke looks back at you. you find yourself watching him instead of where you r going. i dont think there will be a helmet cam as duke goes with doggles only.
Title: Re: Puggle Pod 9000 Arrives! Post by: bryant8 on October 30, 2008, 08:03:23 PM We need to find Duke an old leather footballer helmet to add to the doggles!
